Happy Little Stampers - CAS

I don't know if I don't know how to read, or if I just get an idea in my head and go with it, hoping it's okay.  Happy Little Stampers challenge is Sprays/Mists and I knew what I wanted to do.  When I went to the site to post the card I noticed it's supposed to be CAS and that means lots of white space. Sorry, it doesn't have much.  It's simple and fairly clean, and even a one layer card, not something I do often.


The stamp is from Penny Black that I colored with Inktense Pencils, then covered with rubber cement.  I masked the sentiment area and used my Tim Holtz marker sprayer to spritz the background.  The sentiment is also from PB.  It's a little warped because I haven't attached it to the card base yet.  I do that sometimes until I know what inside sentiment I want to use.  Those are printed on the computer.

You won't see any cards from me for a while (well, one, but that's a secret for now) since I'm off to spend two weeks with my grandchildren while their parents are away.  To keep my hand in, I will be playing with my Zig Clear Brush Pens. I'll also be making a baby quilt for a soon to be great-granddaughter.  I will be lounging around the pool catching up with all of you, though, so keep those cards a comin'!

LIM #219

I don't often do one layer cards but thought I'd give it a try for Less Is More this week.  We're also to include splatters. Now spatters I can do.  ;)


Using my NBUS Tim Holtz Flower Garden, I stamped the stem in Peeled Paint, the flower in Memento London Fog and watercolored with Distress Inks. Then I covered the entire flower in rubber cement. Once dry, I went around the flower with Frayed Burlap, also using it to splatter and stamp the sentiment from Penny Black.  Finally I rubbed off the rubber cement.  I love this daisy stamp.  I think I'll be doing this again with some different backgrounds.

Thanks for stopping by.  Your visits and comments are appreciated.
